Hi All

 

I wonder lets say im configure a good server then I create an image of the HD and copy it to a new machine, what will be the affect ?

 

to be more accurate:

 

What will be the side affects when transferring P4 to another P4 but with different chipset memory etc ... ?

What will be the side affects when transferring P4 to Athlon machine ?

 

The affect will be the same with all distribution or I might find that mandrake is much portable then gentoo ?

 

Cheers

 

It all depends on the kernel you use. If you use the one that comes with the distribution you will have no problems. If you rolled your own kernel it will probably not even boot.

As for Gentoo, I understand one has to compile just about everything, so it's definitely  less "portable".


Cheers,

Henry
